Zhu Yunwen stood at Longjiang Pier, standing solemnly. The sound of steam in the distance could already be heard.
Luo Feng, Yao Shun, Xiang Datong, Zhang Guanshan and others stood on the side of the ship, looking at the lights along the coast. Countless soldiers and civilians held torches side by side, lighting up both sides of the Yangtze River.
After ten miles, the lights remained undiminished.
I don’t know how many sergeants came, and I don’t know how many people came. I just know that the lights are connected to the water and the sky, with no end. That night, it seemed like the people from Jinling came out empty-handed, and it seemed like the people north of the Yangtze River were also standing by the Yangtze River. xь.
No merchant ships, no passers-by.
There is only the quiet water of the Yangtze River, waiting for returning relatives.
Acharya hugged Zhang Huiming and was extremely shocked. He had never seen such bright lights and such a solemn scene in his life. The people on the shore include sergeants wearing armor, men supporting old people, women holding children, and young men holding younger siblings.
Everyone said nothing and just watched the returning ships quietly.
Zhang Guanshan, Luo Feng and other strong-minded men had already burst into tears at this moment.
"Three blasts!"
Zhu Neng conveyed the order.
The sound of the steam roared and spread, as if thanking you.
The boat swung into the mouth of the Qinhuai River, and not long after walking out, we saw the Longjiang Pier.
There, the lights were as bright as day.
The steam engine was shut down.
The long oar is stretched out and we approach the shore carefully.
After years of transformation and continuous expansion, Longjiang Wharf is now large enough to accommodate a fleet.
Zhu Neng, Luo Guanying, Zhao Shiyu and others got off the boat, and Luo Feng, Zhang Guanshan and other six people also got off the boat.
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Wenkui, and a group of civil servants and generals looked at the returning people.
Zhu Neng was a little sad.
Only six people were brought home, but there were more than six people to greet them. The emperor came, the prince came, the civil servants and military generals came, the Jinling Guards and the people came, and the number was more than 60,000. .
For these six people, for the remains of the soldiers!
They are all here.
Zhu Neng led the sergeants to salute and solemnly shouted: "Zhu Neng, the captain of the West Route Navy, was ordered to go west to America to find the navy brothers of the Wuyi Fleet. He has now brought back six sailors of the Wuyi Fleet, including their families. , a total of eight people! Collected 732 skeletons! We are here to pay the order!"
The voice was full of tragedy.
Zhu Yunwen looked up and saw Luo Feng, Yao Shun and others, as well as a woman and a child. He raised his eyes and saw the sergeants on the ship, holding wooden boxes with skeletons in their hands.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen didn't know what to say. He raised his head and felt the breeze blowing. His eyes were moist. He took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice:
"Sail the Yangtze River home at night.
Where are the heroes, they return with dry bones in this life.
The lights are connected to the star screen.
The breeze blows in the eyes, and the navy is a hero forever! "
They left with their missions on their shoulders, and they died on the way to their missions. They were men of flesh and blood when they left, and they were dry bones in wooden boxes when they returned.
"Every naval officer who sacrificed his life is a well-deserved hero and the soul of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Their names will remain on the monument of heroes and martyrs, and their stories will be spread in history books. Although they are withered bones, as long as there are people alive in the Ming Dynasty, they will not be forgotten. Their fearless sacrifice and the heroes of the Ming Dynasty will be From generation to generation, we will remember and pay tribute to you!"
"Luo Feng, Yao Shun, Guo Wenxing, Xiang Datong, Ouyang You, Zhang Guanshan, Acharya, Zhang Huiming, I welcome you home! Zhu Neng, Luo Guanying, the great East Route Navy soldiers, I welcome you go home!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
Luo Feng, Zhang Guanshan and others shouted.
The navy officers and soldiers shouted in unison.
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and shouted sternly: "Long live the navy!"
The shouts were blown by the wind, and the skirts of clothes moved.
Zhu Yunwen led people towards Luo Feng, Zhang Guanshan and others. Luo Feng wiped away his tears and saluted on one knee: "I will feel guilty in the end..." Xiu Shu.com
"It's great to have you back!"
Zhu Yunwen helped Luo Feng up, his eyes moist.
It's great to be back.
This is Zhu Yunwen's inner voice.
At this moment, I felt very complicated.
The imperial court did not think too early about what might happen to the Wuyi fleet. It was not until the discovery of Dingyuan Province that the search began. How did they persevere and survive during these long years!
It hurts to think about it.
At this moment, under the gaze of countless people, Zhu Yunwen made an unprecedented move.
After Zhu Yunwen helped Luo Feng up, he hugged Luo Feng heavily and patted Luo Feng's back. Then he walked towards Yao Shun and hugged him again, followed by Guo Wenxing, Ouyang You, Xiang Datong, and Zhang Guanshan.
The emperor's embrace seemed particularly warm in this night. It seems that a relative who has been waiting for too long has brought a child home.
This scene allowed countless people to see the tenderness behind Zhu Yunwen's severity.
The soldiers and the people all saw that Zhu Yunwen was not only a high-ranking emperor, he was also an emperor like a father, holding in his arms the children who were lost and finally returned home.
Zhang Guanshan and others never thought that Zhu Yunwen would be greeted in this way and return home in this way.
I just feel, very warm, very warm.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Acharya, looked at Zhang Huiming in her arms, stretched out his hands, Acharya hugged Zhang Huiming to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhang Huiming affectionately, put his forehead against his forehead, and whispered: " Hui Ming, this is a good name. Now that you are back, no matter how far you go, never forget where your home is."
Holding Zhang Huiming, Zhu Yunwen reached out towards Acharya. Acharya knelt down at a loss. It was not until Zhang Guanshan helped him up and said a few words that he stretched out his hand.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly: "From now on, this is your home."
When Zhang Guanshan translated to the confused Acharya, he was moved to tears.
This night, I did not go to the imperial palace in Jinling.
No one was asleep, the etiquette officers were busy collecting the remains of the sergeants, and the coffin shop in Jinling was suddenly empty.
After all the bones were put into the coffins and their names were engraved, Zhu Yunwen ordered the navy to send his family members to Jinling. No matter where these family members were, the imperial court would pick them up.
Some of the skeletons could not be identified for a long time, so Zhu Yunwen had to ask his family to judge them based on their clothing, height, etc. If they really didn’t know their identities, they would place them in unmarked graves.
After the bones were arranged, it was already late at night.
Staying up until dawn is the solemn return home and soul-returning ceremony, a ceremony specially set up by the Ministry of Rites to welcome the soldiers who died in battle.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Wenkui brought the civil and military ministers to attend the ceremony, which ended at noon. Then there was a banquet at the Jinling Palace and a celebration for the navy officers and soldiers.
When Guo Wenxing was lying on the soft bed, it always felt very unreal, as if it was a dream. But when he thought of the emperor's embrace, Guo Wenxing's blood boiled all over.
It’s worth living this life!
Jiji Hu Hu, Siye Ye Linger and others were sitting in the courtyard where Guo Wenxing was. This used to be the palace of the Liao Prince, but when the Liao Prince went to Beijing, it became vacant and became a temporary place for Jinling to receive court officials. residence.
After all, many government offices have closed down, and the imperial court has no intention of retaining the Sixth Department and the Fifth Army Governor's Office in Jinling. Some buildings need to be demolished and converted into civilian or commercial buildings. However, the relationship between Beijing and Jinling is still close, and there are many official exchanges. , so I chose this place as the reception place.
Those who are below the fourth grade usually go to the Yiguan or Yingtianfu Yamen to find a place to live. Only *** can stay here. Although Luo Feng, Guo Wenxing and others are not prostitutes, they are heroes and are naturally qualified to live here.
Hu Hui said to Ye Ling'er, Zhou Chang, Sheng Yin and others: "Looking at his logbook, it is really a magnificent historical voyage. He did not forget his mission amidst the tragedy and sacrificed himself for the country. He can be called a hero."
Sheng Yin sighed: "If Wu Yi had chosen to let the sergeants rest and take root locally, it might not have been so tragic. However, this is an impossible choice."
Zhou Chang nodded heavily: "As a
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty persisted in their mission. Although they could survive by staying and taking root, their mission would not be completed. Precisely because they regard their mission as more important than their lives, even huge injuries cannot stop them from moving forward, which makes them even more admirable. "
Ye Ling'er listened to everyone's words and said, "They brought more than a dozen new seeds. The mission has been completed."
Hu Xi and others nodded in agreement.
Ye Ling'er continued: "Let's not talk about the Wuyi Fleet for the time being. For the Imperial College, what is more important is the success of the global voyage. They successfully reunited in Central America and proved the theory of the round earth with their actions. It is not necessarily the case that they are completely opposite. Unable to arrive."
The faces of Hu Hui, Zhou Chang and others became solemn.
The theory of a round earth has been proven, and countless knowledge needs to be started from scratch. How to answer these will lead to the evolution of new knowledge. Since the earth is round, future maps will no longer exist entirely on paper. You can also make a ball to draw the map.
The world is big and there are many mysteries.
There is a long way to go and we can only search up and down. xь.
Sheng Yin looked up at the sky and remembered the records in the diary.
The art of blood transfusion saved the lives of Luo Feng and Yao Shun, which proved that blood transfusion is truly feasible. But what secrets does the blood itself contain? Why do some bloods clump when put together, while some bloods get along well when put together? What is the secret of blood types?
Medical schools are polishing lenses, hoping to use better lenses to magnify what is in the blood and see what is different inside. It’s just that these lenses are currently not up to standard. Perhaps it’s not that the lenses are unqualified, but that there is a lack of effective combinations. This is a long search and the secret will be discovered!
It was already midnight when Guo Wenxing woke up. He heard someone talking outside the house, smelled the breath in the air, and got up and pushed the door open. He saw the Imperial Academy's Jiujiu, Si Ye and Dean Yiqian were grilling a sheep. Talking about knowledge interestingly.
Yu Xinghai, the dean of the Institute of Navigation, was also there. When he saw Guo Wenxing coming out with a cane, he smiled and said, "I am talking about the roundness of the earth. Come here and tell everyone what you think."
Ye Ling'er cut off the leg of lamb with a knife, handed it to Guo Wenxing who sat down, and said with a smile: "It's just the right time to wake up."
After Guo Wenxing thanked him, he took a bite, and the delicious food hit his internal organs. He raised his head in comfort, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed: "It feels so good to be home."
